A new fossil cerambycid species, Pterolophosoma otiliae nov. gen. nov. sp. (Lamiinae), included in Dominican amber (Lower Miocene) is described.
The systematic position
of this extinct entity among the current tribes of
Lamiinae is discussed but it remains still questionable.
Biologic data are proposed.
Remarks about a second known specimen
of Plectromerus tertiarius Vitali, 2004 and of Plectromerus
grimaldii Nearns & Branham, 2005 (Cerambycinae,
Curiini) are added to their original descriptions.
New reconstructions of habitus and anatomic features of
both species are provided.
